The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

Noyo Headlands North at Glass Beach


I was gone for quite awhile on a nice RV trip to Alaska.  Thankfully, Roger filled in on the blog and, as always, did a great job.  He was relieved though to see me back today, and to be relieved, at least for now, of blogging duties. Funny thing though, I could no longer sign in to blogger as an author, and so Roger is again “saving the day.”  I’m doing this as an email with the pictures that John took for the day, then I’ll send it to Roger, and he’ll create the blog.

While traveling south through Alberta, Canada, on our way back, I was impressed with the wildlife overpasses that they have created to allow animals a safe passage crossing the highway.  I’m attaching a photo of one.  The highways are fenced for miles, guiding the wildlife to the only place they can cross.

Nancy T. and Roger brought Roger’s daughter, Jackie, and son, Tim, along today and Nancy B. and Rick brought their son, Sam.  It’s always nice when Fog Dodgers bring their families, we must be doing something right.  Also present today, Gay, Mark, Fran, Toni, Joe, Jan, Bob, Cheryl N., Neil, John, Pat, Leon, Nancy and Tom (21)


John’s pictures for today depict the foggy weather (over Pudding Creek Trestle) of this morning’s run/walk and a picture tribute for CalFire, who currently is fighting terrible wildfires all over California. It includes photo of smoke from the Mendocino Fires, taken from the 101 yesterday.   Sadly, lives, homes and thousands of acres are being lost.  We are really lucky to be living here on the foggy coast!


It was nice to be on our Noyo Headlands Coastal Trail this morning.  Next week, the City is having the “Official” opening of the trail.  You can look at last week’s post and click on the link that Roger included for all of the information and some wonderful drone flyover videos.  It’s a beautiful trail!

Next week we will be at the Caspar Logging Road, a great place to walk, run, bike, walk your dog, whatever, hope to see everyone there!
